Facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles mediated by polyacrylamide-reduction approach to antibacterial application.

The current time increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant 'super-bugs' and the risks associated with food safety have become global issues. Therefore, further research is warranted to identify new and effective antimicrobial substances. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized by autoclaving technique using, different concentrations of Ag salt (AgNO) solution (1, 5, 10, and 25 mM).
